iQIYI Takes the Lead in the Industry to Introduce Multi-Perspective Watching Mode for Its Hit Variety Show "Youth With You 2"
BEIJING, April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

iQIYI, Inc. (NASDAQ: IQ) ("iQIYI" or the "Company"), an innovative 
market-leading online entertainment service in China, has introduced a 
multi-perspective watching mode for its original variety show Youth With You 2 
(the "Show") that allows users to simultaneously watch the public performance 
of the Show's over 100 trainees from a view of the whole stage and a separate 
view that focuses on their favorite trainee.

Leveraging iQIYI's long-term exploration and expertise in interactive video 
technology, Youth With You 2 pioneered the zero-latency simultaneous streaming 
of footage from two different views - the main stage view and the trainee view. 
The feature also allows users to exit and enter the multi-perspective watching 
mode anytime. To ensure the best viewing results, iQIYI optimized the 
capabilities of its video player to deliver a smooth streaming performance on 
mid- to low-end devices.

The multi-perspective watching mode is powered by iQIYI's angle-switching 
technology that was developed under its Interactive Video Guideline and creates 
a more personalized and immersive viewing experience. As a pioneer in rolling 
out multi-perspective watching features for single screen-viewings of a variety 
show in China, iQIYI sets a new paradigm for technology-empowered variety 
shows.  

The application of angle-switching technology in major variety shows is the 
latest step in iQIYI's technology + entertainment initiative. iQIYI's original 
variety shows, such as The Rap of China, CZR and The Big Band have leveraged 
sub-plots, screen information exploration and other capabilities to break the 
temporal and spatial limits to get the best out of high-quality content, 
enhancing the overall interactive user experience.

iQIYI has been optimizing viewer experience through all kinds of innovative 
technologies and products. In Youth With You 2' s case, iQIYI's AI Radar 
"Qiguan" features an interactive "Who is She?" button which allows users to 
identify a particular contestant with a single click. Qiguan also allows users 
to have quick access to a contestant's biography and previous works by 
connecting with iQIYI Encyclopedia and iQIYI Paopao in the iQIYI ecosystem. 
Users can also seamlessly switch to Paopao, iQIYI's entertainment community for 
fans, to express their support for their favorite contestant. The Qiguan 
feature has been hugely popular and was used nearly one million times within 
the first week of the show's release. It now also supports the identification 
of background music with one click.

As iQIYI's first original variety show that is released in 2020, Youth With You 
2 brings together an all-star cast including Youth Producer Representative KUN, 
the winner of Idol Producer, show mentor LISA from the international idol group 
BLACKPINK, and the participation of over 100 female idol trainees from 46 
talent agencies. The Show provides a platform of training and competition for 
these idol trainees, of which at the end, only a few are selected through 
viewers' votes to debut as an idol group. 

Going forward, iQIYI will continue to optimize the watching experience with 
innovative technology, offering users a more diverse entertainment experience.
